Wip Wednesday

So! Tagged by @wonda-fhr (and Wednesday is almost over 🫣 sorry haha)

Let’s see

I got these lil’ snippets of stuff I’m working on. (Won’t guarantee any of it will get done anytime soon though haha)

—

Orellia leans back, only avoiding those cracked off-white floor tiles by Julia’s quick shifting, instead her cheek meets the cold white brick of the bathroom wall. Tries not to think about how gross that is, tries not to think about how gross it was that she had her face in the toilet not five minutes before…closing her eyes, she listens as Julia makes her way to the sinks, listens to the way the stream of water, so much closer is still second to the waves so far away, the reason she came all this way.

The crashing waves are not close, no matter what they may sound like — but the ocean isn’t small and it’s certainly not quiet, the noise carries easily through the quiet road up to the small convenience store; right into the restroom both girls are holed up in.

It’s soothing.

The light in the bathroom, in contrast, is not.

Too bright, fluorescent — clinical — no matter how tightly Orellia scrunches her eyes she can't seem to block it out — and yet, she thinks she could easily drift off to sleep here, uncomfortable as it may be, gross as it is, the wall is cool against her clammy skin, and she feels safe here, as long as Julia is here, she feels safe. She really could just pass out.

And she just might have, had the roughest, coldest water soaked paper towel not been dragged across her face.

“You are, he’s not this badly behaved with me”

Marcos leans back, grimacing slightly at the pop in his back, ‘you run around the city and get into fights on the regular—but playing with a dog is what has you aching?’ He turns, tries to get a peek at Chen—it’s no use, he’s too far into the kitchen, Marcos feels the corners of his lips raise regardless as he shouts back a reply “Maybe he just likes me more” he’s not at all surprised at the mental feedback.

Annoyance, but not just that, he can tell there's a suppressed amusement there too— its really not all that hidden, and that’s what has his smile turning into a full blown grin.

He’s had a harder and harder time keeping up that ‘steel’ man act around him.

And Marcos can’t believe it, but he finds it exceptionally endearing the harder he tries.

📩 Simblr question of the day: Your sim is having a heated discussion with someone about whether Cereal is a soup or not, what side are they on? 👀 ( freely share this SQOTD around, anon or not, and use the hashtag " SQOTD " ~ 💛 )

mentioned this ask to me sister recently and we discussed how avery and isaac would debate 'is cereal a soup?' and we definetely agreed that isaac would say adamantly that it was a soup (but just to annoy avery 😂) and avery would be like 'BUT YOU CHEW IT' 🤬🤬🤬🤬

hey babes, I was wondering how you were doing? just a little wellness check, hope you're good and have an amazing rest of your day <33

I would be lying is I said I'm doing well anon, but I'm doing better than two weeks ago. I had a mentally exhausting/difficult trip with some of my family and ended up waking up at 3am with an acute panic attack…and again at 5am. It was rough and I had not cried or been this emotionally fragile in ages. These people did not take me seriously when I said I was not ready to go that triggering house… Please take people seriously when they tell you about their mental health, anxiety and ptsd is serious

Holy shit I love your Dirk interpretations, it's so true and I could talk about this shit forever. I feel like another part of his character that people seem to forget (along with Roxy for some reason) is that he's from the future in solitude in an apocalyptic wasteland. I just see that part of his character always removed which is disappointing because I feel like that's a pretty big part, especially regarding his themes around technology, his brother's theme of Time, his own isolation, and how he plays in the vastness of the universe and spacetime.

Art I drew related to the subject because I like to respond to asks with art.

But absolutely. I certainly understand where the lack of discussion over his isolation + upbringing comes from, considering a majority of the fanbase that I have seen builds their ideas based on their own version of postcanon. I’m not entirely sure how that would be fixed, but certainly even in the somewhat recent past I would see a lot more content regarding his upbringing both literally and symbolically. I don’t have much to add regarding the things you’ve mentioned, because they just are what they are. Dirk being confined to a singular room left to him by a father figure he never met, in a future where the only other person left on the planet is someone he cannot pursue a relationship of because of himself, with purely 3 robots to keep him companion, one being an exact replica of his own brain who is *also* trapped inside a pair of glasses, is about as literal as it gets to me.

The contrast to me involving the flooded, organic world in comparison to the little speckle of Dirk’s apartment packed with the dude and his technics is not only a representation of his isolation and entrapment within himself, but also of his lack of control. I think his obsession with & themes of control are a direct product in the case of Dirk specifically *of* this kind of upbringing. His themes of technology are also related to his themes around control. So much of his character is actually revolved around this to me like so much. Dirk is so deeply disconnected from humanity in every way and so much of his character + symbolism is based around that.

It doesn’t even have to be about the symbolism or anything though. It’s just pretty *interesting* in the literal sense that he lives in the middle of the ocean in the future. There’s not only a lot to theorise on to do with his young life there, but on how it might affect him in the way he acts for the rest of his life. The latter part is probably what I see mentioned the most by people talking about Dirk regarding this, I’m surprised I don’t see more discussion on the former too though. I really ought to actually talk more about Homestuck stuff on here. I will do it myself.

Roxy & Dirk’s relationship is largely ignored though because there is a narrative a certain demographic spreads that Dirk resented and blamed Roxy for her interest in him, and thus too many people believe that their relationship was or would continue to be an abusive one. Realistically, I believe it’s important to acknowledge that the way Roxy treated Dirk regarding his homosexuality wasn’t right while still acknowledging the obvious amount of respect and admiration Dirk had for Roxy. I mean we have a huge piece of dialogue from their post trickster mode conversations on the quest beds from Dirk purely stating how he feels about Roxy that people completely ignore somehow. I think this usually happens to characters that are women though. I know everyone says it, but it is true. Jane gets the exact same treatment of boiling her down to solely her negative aspects. The things I see completely mischaracterising both of them are horrific.

I mean how much more explicit can it get that their relationship is obviously very important to Dirk? But I digress. I think the best or I should say “most interesting” interpretations of their relationship usually come from DirkRoxy shippers actually.

I would be interested to hear about Dirk’s relation to his brother’s theme of time though. I don’t have any thoughts on this and I don’t recall ever hearing anyone talk about it before. If you or anyone else would be willing to enlighten me I’d be thrilled.

I see you already like the idea of Vampire!VW. May I please posit: Vampire!Vash and Werewolf!Wolfwood?? 👀

ehe, yes, i think vampire!vash and werewolf!wolfwood is cute! i've seen it throughout the fandom, but i don't have a lot of good ideas when it involves the pair of them as vampire and werewolf aside from aesthetically. if anyone wants to enlighten me more, feel free :D i do think if i was to spin a tale for them, it'd be a tristamp one, rare as it is on my page…

[snarkspawn]

Me patiently waiting for commissions to open so I can get Lucanis kissing my Rook against a wall 🫠😍

Hehehe yES PLEASE!! let me draw more rookanis* smooches I'm so here for that

(* other companions can come too)

On that note though, I don't really know when I'll be able to open them again :( I was tentatively aiming at mid to late November, which ... kind of came and went so fast I didn't even notice. And that means I only have 2 more (busy) weeks before I leave to spend the holidays/new year's with my partner again and won't be able to draw, so I'm debating whether or not I should open them now and try to get as many done as I can (if any) before then, or wait until the new year so i can take my time 😩 decisions decisions......

Anyway, whatever I decide you'll see it here first :'D

Sorry if this is weird but I wanted to say it's so comforting to know that there are other lesbians in their mid-to-late 20s who haven't had their first kiss or anything. I know gay people in general tend to reach those milestones later than cishet people but I've always felt like I was way behind even my gay peers, and it has really put a dent in my sense of self-worth. So, you mentioning that you've never kissed anyone made me feel a little less alone. :) Love your art and hope you are doing well.

You should look at the concept of "your first kiss" less as a milestone you have to achieve at a certain age and more of an intimate thing that happens when YOU want to do it, if you even want to do it at all.

I have no idea what your situation is like, but personally I literally just haven't felt a super strong urge to kiss anyone near me here in this very South Texan city. People aren’t really “visibly” queer here with pride flags and stuff, including me. We’ve only had 2 small Pride parades before and that’s it. I'm sure this would eventually change if I lived somewhere more queer-friendly with more sapphics who were my specific type (butch and nonbinary lesbians are pretty much nonexistent here. I once got embarrassingly excited when I saw one(1) online who lived here. It’s like all the real attraction I’ve been deprived of all my life hit me like a truck. No, I’ve never talked to them lol)

......but I'm not saying the girls here aren't ever cute or anything. They’re beautiful actually. Mostly bisexual latinas. I've definitely had some gay moments here and there. It just wasn't enough to spiral into more than light flirting and a cheek kiss, I guess. There’s also the severity of insecurity and mental illness that makes one a homebody, but I don’t want to get into that right now.

So while I want it, I love the idea of it, I'm not really that ashamed about being inexperienced this late in life. Seems more common than people are willing to admit tbh. ANYWAY, I rambled too much. My point is you shouldn't tie this to your self-worth and don't let anyone, even other queer people, make you feel bad about it

[dingledraw]

i've decided i'm going to live for her instead!

Good! (Just be careful with the woman who hangs around with her👀)

Sorry if I'm bothering you, but do you have any tips on how to draw dragons/dragonborn? I really want to draw my BG3 character, but I'm not used to drawing dragonborn, so I've been struggling with it for a while.

No worries! I've been asked about this several times so I thought of doing a simple graphic for it. I hope you'll find this helpful!! Just remember to keep the base simple and build upon that ✨
